Brian Farley, legendary musical director and orchestrator of stage musicals, has joined the Limelight Musicals team.

He has 25 years experience at the highest level, including five years as musical director with the UK national tour of Evita.

Brian has vast experience of stage musicals and is a passionate advocate for musicals in schools. He runs acclaimed summer schools and workshops for children and young people.

His work spans studio (performance and production), television and stage shows.

Brian’s first commissions for Limelight include new orchestrations for upcoming shows Dazzle! and the BBC-televised modern nativity, Bus Stop 23.

Brian says: “Limelight has some fabulous shows waiting in the wings. The heart of a musical is obviously the songs and music, and with Limelight these are truly outstanding. You will genuinely not find anything better in the West End.”

Andrew Bailey, the founder of Limelight Musicals, said: "Brian is a great musical director, and an exceptional arranger and orchestrator for the stage.

"His sparlking orchestrations will add another hugely enjoyable dimension tio Limelight shows. I'm looking forward to working with Brian to bring out the best in our shows."
